1. Installation of computer light.
Using eight M10 size bolts, through making use of bracket that
owned by computer light install. Make sure the firmness of
installation, in case swing or glide happen when it works. Each
weight of computer light is 18.5KG more or less. Before installation,
it should be ensure if frame can support the weight. For safety, a safe
chain should be through the side handle of lighting body.
Notice: please don’t use the die down yoke of computer light to rise,
to lower, and move it.
2. Installation of lamp.
loosen plastic body which locate in luffing structure of computer
lighting body, and strengthen screw of right-and-left cover shell, then
open the cover forth gently, at the tail of shine lamp, screw off four
coppery screw and move metallic gobo flag and heat guard of two
sides, then can replace lamp. When install it, please use HMI575W
modulator tube. Pay attention to screw down the screw of two sides of
lamp, or it cause high voltage short circuit and discharge for poor
contact. It influence service life of lamp, and damage components of
circuit board. After finish it, please strengthen the metallic gobo flag
and heat guard of two sides of lamp firstly. Then using adhesive tape
to fold covering shell, and strengthen screws of right-and-left of it.
MSD light products are provided with high voltage modulator tube
what has exterior igniter. When operate these modulator tubes, it must
be careful, and should read the instruction of modulator tube that offer
by manufacturer before operation.
Warning 1: Don’t forget install metallic gobo flag and heat guard that
beside the lamp or thermal radiation is easy to bake the plastic shell
distortion. Seriously, it will raise fire alarm. Manufacturer will not
responsible for these losses.
Warning 2: Modulator tube will reach to a high temperature when it
works, and the trait of gas discharge lamp can not intermittent power

supply. It must cool at least 15 minutes to work again after power supply
cut off, or it will induce high pressure discharge, short circuit, and even
burn out parts of computer control panel.
3. Power supply
Using appropriative plug connect computer light and power main lead.
Pay attention to consistent of voltage, frequency and supply source of
backboard of computer light. Suggest each computer light to use a
separate power supply, so each light can be turn on and turn off at will.
Important matters:
Each computer light should be earthed and whole electro assembling
must accord with standard demand.
The power consumption of computer light is 680VA.
Monitoring restoration system:
After computer light switch on power, circuitry will be install. This
function makes lamp cobra moving to a limiting position, and it will turn
interior color and superimposed wheel of pattern. Thus the control system
of microprocessor can login all place of electrical machines which
controlled by it. It will bring electric noise in computer interior, when
modulator tube damage or burnout. Maybe it will disturb normal
operation of MPU. Computer light has an electronic monitoring system
that can watch operation of MPU, and ensure that will start up
reinstallation function when it is disturbed. After it finish, computer light
can accept new control instruction and operate without a hitch.
4. Connection of control communication line
Connection of controller and computer light or connection between
each computer light should use two-core shielded cable, and diameter of
each core should be o.5MM at least. When it joined in or come out, it
should be used cylindrical three-legged XLR plug and outlet which
L=Brown
E=Yellow/Green
N=Blue

supplied along with computer light. Connection of XLR can refer to the
list below. Attention: every line should not touch each other or touch plug.
Computer light can accept data control signal of DMX512 (1990) format.
Control signal connect with panel which earmarked “DIGITAL IN”, then
connect socket which earmarked “DIGITAL THRU” with socket of next
computer light which earmarked “DIGITAL IN”. After receive signal of
DMX512, the status lamps close to switch of address code will fulgurate.
Or it will extinguish. If it always in shine, it means DMX signal is false.

Suggest to use DMX signal terminal, it can avoid the breakage of data
control signal. Cause by electric noise. In simple terms, DMX terminal is
a XLR linker in which has a 120Ω resistance between two-legged and
three-legged plug. And the resistance should be connected with
“DIGITAL THRU” socket of the last computer light of computer light
chain. The connection can refer to table below.

5. Corrective maintenance
If lens of computer light be damaged or broken, please replace a new
one, and the same to modulator tube. If light turn dark, it means service
life of modulator tube is up, should be replaced in time. The old
modulator tube can explode. When computer light works out of order,
The connection of DMX terminal connect a 120 Ω resistance
between two-legged and three-legged of XLR plug, and connect it to
DIGITAL THRU socket of the last computer light of computer light
chain.

fuse in back panel should be checked. Notice: If it need replace, using
same spec fuse that earmarked in back panel. In the computer light,
circuit board has a 3AT fuse. If the fuse has blown, it need replaced by
professional. computer light also have two heat protectors, they should
cut off power supply when the temperature is too high. If it happened, fan
should be checked whether there is a barrage or not. If fan is dirty, please
switch on the power supply after clean it. Examine operation of fans, if it
doesn’t work, please mend it by professional.
6. Cleanly maintenance
In order to computer light operate steadily, it should keep clean.
Suggest clean lighting body and fan every 15 days. Lens and dichroic
filter should be cleaned at stated time to assure the best light effect. Don’t
use any deliquescent cleaner to clean dichroic filter.
7. Warning
 Don’t dismounting or refit computer light.
 Don’t touch water and other kind of liquid and metal substance
(IP20).
 Don’t install in a high wettest condition.
 Don’t illuminate on tinderbox, computer light must keep 5M away
from tinderbox.
 Computer light should keep 0.5M away the surface of adjacent
object.
 Don’t look beam in the face, or it may injure your eyes.
 Notice: modulator tube will reach to a high temperature when it
works. It must be completely cool at least 15 minutes before
operate again.

Computer light can’t start. Check fuse of back-panel.
Though it shine, computer
light don’t accept dictate of
control.
Check data startup address (see section
5), and check connection of
communication control line (see
section 4).
Computer light works only
in intermittence.
Check fan, if it operate normally.
Shadow has halo. Check the number of electro-focus
channels if it suit current range of the
projection.
Beam looks gray. Maybe service life of modulator tube is
over, it must be replaced. Check optical
component if it is clean.
Lamp is not bright. 1. Because of improper operation,
lamp not completely cool. The fan
in the lighting body must be cool 10
minutes, cut off power supply at
least 5 minutes, makes internal
inductor renew completely, then
switch on power supply.
2. Check if service life of lamp is over.
3. Check lamp and trigger line if it is
creepage, desquamation or poor
contact.
4. Replace a new trigger.
